Changmin was born on February 18th, 1988. Both of his parents are teacher. When
he was young, his dream is to became a TV announcer.

He lived with his family in Seoul but was nearly kicked out of his house one
day in second grade as he had to “relieve” himself and ended up peeing from the
roof on the woman living downstairs!

He is the eldest in family, he has two sisters.

One time he followed his friend to SM contest and he won the best singer award.

The time and effort required as a trainee was taxing, because it forced him to
be away from his family and miss out on student life. He was sad he never got
to experience that. Even when he missed his family he started to cry.

Changmin always give the best in singing, when he sing not really good he will
be crying. But he has a brave side to him too. Starting from elementary school
in 6th grade, he delivered newspapers as a part-time job

He has been trained for 2 years before debuted in Dong Bang Shin Ki. He used
stage name as Choikang. In English it means Max.

He joined the band under the name Choikang Changmin (최강창민; the English counterpart to his
stage name is Max). In Korea, Choikang means “the best”. That’s why his English
counter part is Max, short for Maximum.

Junsu was born to a pizza restaurant owner, and a former Miss
Korea on December 15th of 1986. Younger by two seconds to his fraternal twin
brother, Junho.

Since a little boy, Junsu loved to sing. Sometimes he sang in the church. As
times went on, Junsu finally decided to became a singer.

His first step to reach his dream is entering SME.

He began at age 12 after auditioning in a televised talent search where the
judges consisted of popular band members Moon Hee Jun and Kangta of H.O.T.
However, after three years of vigorous training, a problem began to surface.
Junsu's puberty began to set in, altering his voice drastically. This gave
Junsu many frustrations as he was unable to sing until the unusually long cycle
ended. Junsu also stated in an interview on Mnet's Starwatch that during this
hardship he had a tough time, and was very angry with himself. The doctor told
him not to yell or even talk, but he would only yell and talk more in the
bitterness of wanting his voice back. He even went to the rooftop and screamed
and cried, begging God for his voice back. Miraculously, his wish was granted,
and Junsu once said he wonders if all that screaming is why his voice is so
husky now.

When his voice changed ended, SM was planning to make a new group. Junsu was
the first member to be chosen. His talent in singing and dance made him one of
the best trainee at that time.

After 6 years joint in SME, Junsu finally debuted as a member of a group that
called “Dong Bang Shin Ki”

Kim Junsu debuted as Xiah. His stage name was personally chosen by him, with a
special meaning. His name is short for Asia, which is pronounced ah-shee-ah in
Korean. He chose to use the short term for Asia, implicating that not only did
he want to become a star of Korea, but of the entire Asian continent.

He was born with the name Jung Yunho on February 6th, 1986,
in Gwangju. Since young
Yunho dreamed to be a singer.
He always talked to his friends about his dream to be a singer.
One day, he suddenly
announced he was going to try out singing audition to his friends. At that
time, he was too nervous to go by himself, so he asked one of his friend
to go along with him. A few days later he told to his friend
that he was accepted. It was when Yunho in 9 grade winter break.
Yunho must go from Gwanju to Seoul which is take a long
drive once a week for
training. Although the training was so difficult, but Yunho
never give up.

In the middle of crowded park, Yunho practiced his vocal, in the middle of city
busYunho practiced his dance.
On time, Yunho phoned his friend and he started to cry
while telling how difficult and painful the training time.
While choosing who goes in one group, Lee Soo Man originally decided that Jung
Yunho was to be in a group with some members of Super Junior and Hero Jaejoong
called “Four Seasons”. It all worked out at the end when Yunho finally ended up
in a group called 동방신기.
He picked out his own stage name, U-know Yunho. “You-Know” means he will always
know the member. Of course there has to be a leader. But someone had to rise up
to take the role of being the
leader. Although not the oldest, Yunho bravely volunteered to lead DBSK.
